A quick and easy creamy pumpkin overnight oats recipe topped with caramel drizzle and crunchy granola, perfect for busy mornings or last-minute gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (90g) rolled oats
  • ½ cup (120g) pumpkin puree (canned, not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 cup (240ml) milk (dairy or plant-based like almond, oat, or soy)
  • ½ cup (120g) Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt for dairy-free)
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) maple syrup (or honey/agave nectar)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt
  • Caramel sauce (for drizzling, about 1-2 tablespoons per serving)
  • ½ cup (50g) crunchy granola

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 cup rolled oats, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Whisk gently to distribute the spices evenly (about 2 minutes).
  2. Add ½ cup pumpkin puree, 1 cup milk, ½ cup Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the bowl. Whisk or fork blend until smooth and creamy (3-4 minutes).
  3. If the mixture is too thick, add a splash more milk to loosen it up.
  4. Spoon the mixture evenly into 2-3 mason jars or small bowls with lids, leaving room at the top for toppings (about 2 minutes).
  5. Seal the jars and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight to allow oats to soak and flavors to meld. A minimum of 4 hours can work but texture will be less creamy.
  6. Before serving, drizzle caramel sauce (1-2 tablespoons) over each jar and sprinkle ½ cup crunchy granola on top. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

Use old-fashioned rolled oats for best texture; avoid instant oats to prevent mushiness. Stir oats once before adding toppings for uniform texture or blend mixture for extra creaminess. Keep granola and caramel separate until serving to maintain crunch and flavor. Can substitute pumpkin puree with fresh roasted pumpkin puree. Vegan and low-carb adaptations available.
